This Morning replacements revealed as Phillip and Holly take break from show

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's This Morning replacements for the summer have been revealed.

Friday marked the much loved duo's last show before they take an extended break over the summer period.

Their future on the show has been the subject of some speculation over the last few weeks, after the news that their long-serving boss Martin Frizell was set to retire from his editing duties.

There were also rumours that the BBC were ready to try and poach Phillip with a big money offer but the BBC have since denied this, with Phillip reassuring his Twitter followers that there is no truth to the reports, Chronicle Live reports.

This Morning regulars Eamonn Holmes and wife Ruth Langsford will be taking over until they return in September, when the six-week summer holiday ends, along with a few "special guest presenters too."

Phillip made the announcement during what was a memorable show on Friday, after a game of spin win.

During Friday's show, Richard and Judy's return to This Morning was also confirmed, although they will be on to be interviewed, rather than host.

Some viewers are delighted that Eamonn and Ruth are taking over, with one tweeting: "Don't be blue, because from next week until the end of the summer, Eamonn and Ruth will be on Monday to Thursday!"

Another reacted: "About time we had Eamonn and Ruth get the gig. I much prefer their little bickering bouts than these two collapsing into ridiculous giggles," and a third posted: "Oh yea Team Ruth and Eamonn"
